About Karen
Karen Mohammed-Perry is a licensed mental health counselor who practices in New York. She brings 25 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, and problems with self-esteem and motivation. Her work includes support for relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions.
She speaks English and works with adults seeking practical help for everyday struggles. Her approach is down-to-earth and respectful.
Background and approach
She uses evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and client-centered work to tailor the process to each person. Conversations are shaped around immediate concerns and real-life goals so progress feels useful and relevant. Karen has advanced training that includes a post-master's credential in Treatment of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Clients.
She draws on that background when addressing substance use and related issues. She also draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences and move forward. Sessions aim to build skills for coping with anxiety, improving sleep and eating patterns, managing anger, and addressing career or life-purpose questions.
She adapts pacing and techniques to match what feels most workable for each person. The therapist emphasizes respect, cultural sensitivity, and compassion in all interactions. Taking a first step can feel hard.
Karen focuses on clear steps and practical strategies so clients can see change in daily life and regain a sense of control and purpose.
Remote support using practical therapies
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps build trust, clarify goals, and shape sessions around each individual's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit into busy lives. These options let people use therapy from home, during a lunch break, or while traveling. The variety of formats supports steady progress by matching pace and access to each person's routine.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
